Fast Fridays

Fast Fridays is a season-long program designed for young ski athletes, ages 6 to 13, who are eager to get an introduction to ski racing or add extra days to their current ski school programs. This program is perfect for those looking to take their skiing skills to the next level, with a focus on building strong fundamentals and improving technical abilities on the slopes.

Athletes will engage in a variety of training environments, including technical drills and gate practice, which will help them develop essential movement patterns and race techniques. The program also introduces athletes to friendly competition settings, allowing them to experience the excitement of ski racing in a supportive and fun environment.

Fast Fridays offers the opportunity for young skiers to gain confidence, enhance their skills, and enjoy the thrill of racing—all while fostering a lifelong love for the sport.
